    @quiltingjaine @itladyee So far, I am just finding it funny. It has actually taken me a long time to collect 5 of this guy. I leave friend requests sitting to see if there was a reason to accept. I only accept friend requests from people people in our group, or if we share many common friends, or I recognize their name from other postings. Also, if a man friends me and they have NO male friends, they are a big NOPE.

    How can you tell who "hugged" a post?

    I don’t think you can. As far as I know the “hugger” was reported to MFP and they had a way of telling. I just remember that it stopped.

    Male, 60+ years old, with a lot of stuff on my plate (other than food).
    . 4 NFL playoff games this weekend, and the 🏈 CFP Championship on Monday (all equate to 🍺 + 🌮🍕🥪🌯🌭). God, help me.

    Are you watching these at home? If so, the easiest solution is to NOT HAVE JUNK AVAILABLE. It’s a bit more difficult if you’re in a crowd. Stay away from the goodies table.

    Heading out this weekend with my 4lb weights and resistance band to make sure the weekend doesn’t end weakly! 💪🏽😄 I’ll enjoy a treat or two, but promising myself to start each day with the Leaner Legs Challenge and sneak in some strength moves too. Planning to stay strong while enjoying some much-needed fun! ✨

    I'm curious about this leaner legs challenge I searched the challenges section on MFP but didnt find it.... do you have a link to the challenge or at least the exercises/programme ... TIA

    Hi, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 39F in Virginia, excited to return this round after taking a couple off!

    RSW: 128.8
    RGW: 127.8

    NS goals (tracked for previous day with emojis):
    🏃🏻‍♀️Follow my running training plan exactly, which I think will require training 8/10 days. Half marathon on Feb 2nd!
    ✔️Core 7/10 days (5 days a week)
    🏋🏻‍♀️Lift weights 3/10 days (twice a week)
    🚫 Alcohol-free 10/10 days (doing most of dry January except for the first 6 days I was on vacation :) )

    1/11 - 128.0 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️I did my first long run in a while yesterday and my body is certainly feeling it. My town has been coated in ice all week so I ran the neighborhoods I knew were scraped but did most of my run on the indoor track at the gym. Holy tedium, I will not do that again. Peloton runs on the tread are much more engaging when weather doesn’t permit outdoor running.

    We got a couple inches of snow last night so my “workout” will probably be pulling the kids around on the sled. Not off to the best start with pancakes and bacon for breakfast, typical weekend day. Will track them and work around them for the rest of the day. Happy Saturday!

    1/12 - 129.6 ✔️🚫 Surprised by the gain today as I was only over by 500-600 cals yesterday, but dinner was very salty with soy sauce, so I’m going to just ride the wave for now. I did end up doing a core workout and a peloton yoga for runners class that felt AMAZING. Otherwise it was snow play. The kids had a blast sledding. I’m dying to go skiing but it’s hard to figure out with the kids, especially the almost 4 year old. The mountain close to us doesn’t offer anything for his age. So I’ll just do my prescribed 45-minute run and look longingly at the snow. We are having pizza and wings today during the Bills/Broncos game (Go Bills!) so have to plan accordingly.

    1/13 - 127.4 🚫 There went some water! Back to my 10-pounds-lost milestone. Hope to pass it this time instead of kissing it and going back up like last time. My 3 year old was sick and needy yesterday, so I spent most of the day on the couch with him. I was going to run after dinner until my 5 year old looked at me with his big, sweet eyes and asked me to watch Neverending Story with him. How could I say no? I guess this is why I need to do workouts in the morning. 3yo is home sick today, and I’m starting to have a pretty persistent cough too. ‘Tis the season for family illness. The 5yo is on a 2 hour weather delay so after he gets on the bus I’ll run. Just another small wrench in the wellness plan.

    1/14 - 126.8 ✔️🚫🏃🏻‍♀️ My weight is looking good, but unfortunately today is a sad day. My cat, Beatrice, is in rapid decline after a very long slow decline from kidney disease. She's 19.5 and the vet is coming to put her down in an hour. She's been with me for nearly half my life. I didn't process back when I adopted her that she'd be with me through my young adulthood, moving all over the country, the adoption of canine pet siblings, and then the birth and early childhood of my kids. I don't think I would have believed anyone if they'd told me. May she rest in peace 💔

    1/15 - 126.4 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️ This week is pretty brutal. I now have my son's flu and am feeling majorly under the weather. And the 3 year old is still home sick but not so sick that he's calm. DH had an all day mandatory meeting today. I took a sick day despite working from home. I am not going to be active today and just focus on recovery. Hopefully in a few days I'll be back in full force.

    1/16 - 125.6 🚫 My weight is dropping but this is not how I want to lose. I feel like I’m just deteriorating. I think I ate all my calories yesterday but my appetite has been low. Really want to eat more protein today but everything proteiny sounds unappealing to my sick body. Probably a third of my calories were ramen yesterday. Today I’m going to walk the dogs but miss my training run. This is not what I needed so soon before the half. I think I have to change my goal from PR to just finishing it without injury. The 3 year old is still very sick. This flu is nasty. We’re 4 days in as of today and his temp spiked to 103.5 last night. It’s not quite as bad in my adult body but still quite disruptive.

    1/17 - 123.6 🚫 Apparently hardly eating for a few days is an effective weight loss method, though I don’t recommend it. My appetite is somewhat back today and I’m not setting any restrictions. So far that’s meant peanuts, blueberries, and a cookie. I walked the dogs yesterday and felt super out of breath so I know running would not work today. I paused my training plan but hopefully can restart it tomorrow or Sunday. Today both boys are home, with the 5 year old being very sick and the 3 year old mostly recovered. This awful flu has hit everyone but my husband somehow, who prides himself on hardly ever getting the annual flu shot 😤 I got it this year and still got flattened so we’re useful data points supporting his argument 🙄

    I took care a of 2 people, twice, who had COVID and I didn't get it. RSV nailed me for 5 days, though. Take the drop, even though it was due to illness. Get well, soon!
